    He "Thinks" he's in the best shape of his life.
    When you get older a major thing is that your punch resistance does get worse, his wasn't the best in his prime. Only his expolsive retaliation helped him....I guess Snr will be a straightener ...whAT A LAUGH

    He’s been hinting on social media for a few weeks now, officially applying for his license, doubt he will get it. But Oliver McCall is still fighting and rated 66 in the world so....

    What's worse is it's likely to entice Roy Jones to fight again.

    He has been trying to make an exhibition bout with Eubank for years. But Eubank has just been stringing him along

    There is nothing wrong with him facing foes of a similar age to him in exhibitions in my view.

    Someone’s either watched too many of the Rocky films or they have run out of money

    Needs to contact the bomb squad , I'm sure they'll put him in the right direction towards that old barn house in Alabama.

    And he should check his CapsLock, because it seems to be stuck.
